The current WA Resolution, Right to sexual privacy has been posted on our off-site forums at:

http://www.runboard.com/bnationstates.f2.t83774

GENERAL ASSEMBLY RESOLUTION AT VOTE

Right to sexual privacy

A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.

Category: Human Rights

Strength: Significant

Description: The General Assembly,

Recognising the rights of individuals to privacy in their sexual relationships,

Resolving to uphold and protect this right from undue interference, while

Affirming that society in general has a legitimate public interest in
- preventing procreation in incestuous unions,
- restricting the exploitation of vulnerable or underage individuals, and
- enforcing fair sexual ethics in professions,

Hereby:

1) Defines “individual sexual activity”, for the purposes of this resolution, as acts undertaken individually without any other participant for the purposes of achieving sexual arousal of the individual,

2) Defines “collective sexual activity”, for the purposes of this resolution, as acts undertaken with at least one other participant for the purposes of achieving sexual arousal of one or more of the participants,

3) Defines “age of consent” as the age at which an individual is considered by local law to be legally responsible for actively consenting to engage in collective sexual activity,

4) Establishes the right of all individuals to privacy in their individual sexual activities,

5) Establishes the right of individuals who have reached the age of consent to privacy in their sexual relationships and collective sexual activities,

6) Mandates that member states shall not restrict, regulate, proscribe or criminalise any individual sexual activity where such individual sexual activity is practised in private and away from public exposure,

7) (a) Mandates that member states shall not restrict, regulate, proscribe or criminalise any collective sexual activity between consenting individuals who have reached the age of consent where such collective sexual activity is practised in private and away from public exposure, save that

(b) Member states are permitted to establish in law prohibited degrees of consanguinity and may restrict, regulate, proscribe or criminalise sexual activity between individuals falling within a prohibited degree of consanguinity but only to the extent that such sexual activity could result in procreation, or

(c) In respect of collective sexual activity by individuals who have responsibility for or authority over another individual, member states are permitted to restrict, regulate, proscribe or criminalise such collective sexual activity, but shall only hold accountable in law the individual in the position of responsibility or authority, or

(d) Member states are permitted to allow the exercise of disciplinary power by organisations on members and employees who engage in sexual activity with individuals for whom they are directly professionally responsible or otherwise directly exercise authority over,

8) Establishes the right of member states not to set an age of consent, in which case the protections of clauses 5 & 7 (a) shall apply only to individuals who are otherwise considered legally competent to conduct their own affairs within the particular jurisdiction,

9) Requires that member states exercise their discretionary powers under this resolution in a fair, unbiased and non-discriminatory manner. Should a member state or subdivisions thereof implement a national or local age of consent or legal competence law, such laws shall make no reference to the gender status or the sexual orientation of the participating individuals nor shall collective sexual activities be subcategorised in such laws.

Bananaistan, the dignified and worthy proposer of the current World Assembly resolution "Right to sexual privacy", sent King Zhaoxiang of Qin a telegram in which they expressed an interest to "assuage any misgivings" we may have and persuade us to vote in their favor regarding the current resolution (We have voted against.) We spent a good amount of time on a reply, and decided to post some of our points here as food for thought for the esteemed, enlightened, august, and pulchritudinous nations of Nationstates.

From our reply ...

"While we agree with the general thesis of the current World Assembly resolution, we disagree with its scope, and we disagree with the kind of behavior that the resolution could unwittingly permit.

To wit,

- 3. Defines “age of consent” as the age at which an individual is considered by local law to be legally responsible for actively consenting to engage in collective sexual activity"

and,

- 8. Establishes the right of member states not to set an age of consent, in which case the protections of clauses 5 & 7 (a) shall apply only to individuals who are otherwise considered legally competent to conduct their own affairs within the particular jurisdiction.

"Local law" from 3 could ostensibly specify any age of consent, and 8 enshrines nations' rights not to set an age of consent at all. Voting for the resolution could thereby put King Zhaoxiang of Qin (Qin) in a position where it condones on an international scale sexual behavior which, according to the laws of Qin, are not consenting, and where the parties involved have not reached an age of consent. With this resolution, there would be no recourse for international human rights/child rights-based sanctions, even in the most egregious cases, provided it was enshrined in national law that such sexual activity at such age was permissible. Qin is not willing to permit this.

Further,

"7) (a) Mandates that member states shall not restrict, regulate, proscribe or criminalise any collective sexual activity between consenting individuals who have reached the age of consent where such collective sexual activity is practised in private and away from public exposure,"

This suffers from similar issues, particularly of the public health variety and in the regulation of legalized prostitution. "Any" collective sexual activity includes sexual activity for profit. Requiring condom use for legal prostitution services is a proscription, a regulation, a restriction, and potentially a criminal issue if the requirement is ignored, not only on the commerce but very arguably also on the sexual act itself, regardless of whether the actual sexual activity "product" is practiced in private or away from public exposure. Qin will not vote for a resolution that mandates it to ignore the public health demands of sexual commerce, nor will it unintentionally sanction other nations which, well within their sovereign rights, prohibit sexual commerce."

I notice that you guys consistently tryhard the apocalypse and I'm tired of being in regions that dont' take it serious and end up infecting me. This shall be my zombie fighting account, hi all. :)

I'm not usually very vocal (I pop in for a few mins per day between calls at work).

I did want to take a moment to say thank you to Mikeswill for the feature of both my own and my wife's nations.

I don't typically have opportunities to be more actively involved but I usually manage to find time for Zombie invasions and whatever goes on for April 1.

That having been said, glad to be here, and good health to all!
